CEO of Two Publicly Traded Companies
Ephren Taylor started his first business venture at age 12, when he began making videogames. By age 17, he built a multi-million dollar technology company; GoFerretGo.com.
At City Capital Corporation, Taylor oversees over $150 million in assets, serving a diverse client list ranging from Wall Street investors, top executives, professional athletes and even entertainment icons. His concepts on empowering local communities with both profitable and socially-conscious investing and development have made him a frequently requested speaker and panelist for events such as the Wall Street Economic Summit and the Congressional Black Caucus.
Mr. Taylor is also a well-known guest expert broadcasting to millions of households on local and national television and radio shows including CNBC’s Big Idea, FOX News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, Bulls & Bears and the Doug Bank’s Morning Show. He currently hosts the "Soul of Success" radio show now airing on XM Satellite Radio Station on Family Talk 170XM. Taylor’s appeal stretches beyond the United States borders, as he frequently receives interview and appearance requests from international entities, such as the London-based Wealth Monitor and BBC.
Recently, Taylor launched a 25-city “Urban Wealth Tour” promoting economic empowerment, affordable housing and entrepreneurship in urban communities. The tour brings together private investors, educators, non profit organizations, religious institutes, and government forces to create positive change in urban communities.

MyYearBook.com - Kids Serving Kids
MyYearbook was founded by a pair of teenage siblings, David and Catherine Cook, and their older brother Geoff (post-graduate), from New Jersey while on their spring break in 2005. Catherine persuaded Geoff, who is an internet small business entrepreneur, to invest $250,000 (USD) for their project. They have since raised $4.1 million in venture capital from U.S. Venture Partners and First Round Capital.
At the launch of the site in April 2005, Dave was a senior and Catherine was a junior; and the project was only activated in local suburban New Jersey. The site was inspired by the typical yearbooks sold in high schools, but was intended to not only keep records of students but also allow them to keep in contact with one another. The site slowly grew to have a user base numbering in the thousands. As with other sites, it is free to register and there are no fees for users.
In November of 2005, zenhex.com merged with myYearbook, adding several thousand members and more than doubling the traffic it received. Since then, myYearbook has been growing at a very rapid rate; it grew 44% from December to November among high school and college students according to a Media Metrix report.
